Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ridley's Cohort" data-source="post: 2429033" data-attributes="member: 545">Another person who is so sure Druids are overpowered yet has never actually seen a Druid in play.  Welcome!Produce Flame is a good spell, but its glory days are over after 5th level.  One obvious weakness is the ranged touch attack is not a gimme against targets engaged in melee -- you do not have the necessary archer feats.  Secondly 1d6+5 is not much damage after low levels, and getting your second iterative attack at 8th level does not solve this problem.  2d6+10 damage at 8th level?  Yawn.  It scales better than Magic Missile only if your fights last a very long time.  Most of our fights are essentially over in 2-3 rounds (with some clean up after that).  Who cares how much damage you can do with one 1st level spell over 7 or 13 or whatever rounds?  The Barbarian is already in the alehouse toasting the victory while you are still toying around with your cute little flame.Flame Blade is not the equal of a Brilliant weapon.  I do like the stylishness of the TWF with Flame Blades but (1) requires a precious feat, (2) requires 2(!) precious buffing rounds, and (3) the Druid is doomed if he wades in and trades full attacks with the grunts -- damage output not good enough.Poison is a sucker play.  Instant kills are enticing, but your typically available target for Poison is something with a big Fort save who you do not want to be standing next to when it unloads a full attack.Re-read the description of Call Lightning.  You are not even close.</blockquote>
